Ev­ery­body loves a price cut, and in Au­gust 2014, MacBook Pro with Retina dis­play fans could cel­e­brate a re­duc­tion across the board. The 13-inch and the en­try-level 15-inch mod­els went down by £100 each (ex­cept for the mid-range 13-inch MBP, which only went down by £50), and the high-end 15-inch note­book got a £200 sav­ing. All the 2014 Retina MBPs got a 0.2GHz speed bump, and the en­try-level re­leases got ex­tra mem­ory, up from 4GB to 8GB for the 13-inch and 8GB to 16GB for the 15-inch mod­els.
